Iraq's National Security Agency has announced a death sentence against an accused individual, formerly an infamous security officer at a notorious prison, for committing crimes related to the Anfal campaigns during the previous regime. The agency clarified that the competent

court issued the verdict after proving his involvement in grave crimes against Iraqi detainees. The National Security Agency had managed to arrest the accused following several months of intelligence efforts, despite his family's attempts to mislead authorities. The statement noted

that the accused made explicit confessions regarding the torture and starvation of detainees and participation in liquidation operations, affirming that the verdict is part of efforts to hold accountable those involved in the violations of the past era.
